I don't think there will be any finer detail map of the area.

Your best bet might be to look into DEM (Digital Elevation
Model).  They might be higher resolution than the
1:24,000 topo, but I'm not sure.  Most of the free ones
are not higher resolution than the 1:24,000 topo.

I think DEM files are simply ASCII number files, so
they need to be processed to get the data out of them.
